Fit Upgrade to Biograph Vision.X PET/CT
Differentiate with leading time-of flight (TOF) performance by upgrading existing Biograph Vision 450 or Biograph Vision 600 systems to Biograph Vision.X. The modular detector design of Biograph Vision enables the seamless in-field exchange of the detector electronics assembly (DEA) within the shell of the gantry.
Benefits
- Brand-new X-Class DEAs feature timing resolution up to 178 picoseconds (ps) and 3,765 kcps effective peak NEC rate (considering a 35-mm object size)
- 30% more coverage per bed position enables faster whole-body exams2
- A 33% increase in detector size and 30% increase in aFOV allows for up to 116% increase in effective sensitivity, enabling reduced dose and scan time1,2
- Greater sensitivity improves detectability of small lesions, enhancing clinical and research capabilities
- On-site upgrades reduce time, complexity, and cost compared to new system installation—improving operational efficiency and minimizing scanner downtime
- Same user interface makes it easy for technical staff to adapt to upgraded capabilities
- Re-use of components compared to new systems contributes to an environmentally friendly, circular business approach
- Brand-new X-Class DEAs feature timing resolution up to 178 picoseconds (ps) and 3,765 kcps effective peak NEC rate (considering a 35-mm object size)

Case 1
Outstanding image quality on a low-dose 4.1 mCi scan even at 30 seconds per bed1
- There is high image resolution due to small crystal elements, strong signal due to optimal light capture by SIPM, and enhanced image contrast due to UltraHD reconstruction
- The overall result is an image with excellent anatomical detail even when acquired at lower doses and faster scan times
